Cardinals undrafted rookie profile: K Matt McCrane

The Arizona Cardinals have a veteran kicker on the roster in Phil Dawson, but they have also added an undrafted rookie to the mix. Among their nearly two dozen undrafted rookies is kicker Matt McCrane.

For kickers, the measurables aren’t all that important. McCrane is 5-10 and 165 pounds.

What matters is whether he has the leg to kick in the NFL and whether he has the accuracy to be counted on.

He was a three-time All-Big 12 performer, becoming the first kicker in school history with three all-conference honors. He is the school’s all-time leader in career field goals made (57), field goal percentage (88.4), consecutive made field goals (16) and extra point percentage (99.3) while tying the Kansas State record for career 50-yard field goals (5). McCrane’s field goal percentage ranked second in Big 12 history and sixth in NCAA history. His 304 career points rank third in school history and second among kickers and he finished his career by making a school-record 105 consecutive extra points.
